Rainbow's on her feet? (Footwear)

Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner.

I think Rainbows are cuter than Birkenstocks.

Personally I never wear flipflops although my D has way too many pairs to count. I find it uncomfortable to have something between my toes.

I'm no racist by any means, but what is it with black guys and sneakers?

Nice comeback. I think we've found our newest candidate for the ignore feature.

Oh I think I forgot that we can only talk about what white people do, not black. Sorry!

Birkenstocks have a bad rep now of only being worn by hippies or lesbians

And to think that's all I wear. I tore all the muscles in the bottom of my foot and hyperextended my knee last summer. Those are the only shoes that feel good. I have a lot of different ones though.


I also have a pair that are very similar to this, but have cute tassles.


I am not a lesbian... and not a hippie!

I actually meant that her comeback was nice. When I thought we had someone to ignore, I was referring to omegaland with his dumb remark about white people and flip flops. That's one of the dumbest things I've read in some time on GC. Flip flops are universal and comfortable as all get out. Some folks pay more than others, but that's what they can do.

Some folks like controversy, but that's on them. I like flip flops, and so do millions of others. No racism on my part.

When I first read it, I construed the "Nice comeback" as sarcastic. Then, as I thought about it, I figured out that you were being sincere. Especially since that omegaland has proved to have the posting ability of a 5 year old. But I do see how people got confused. When you quote someone, and then mention putting someone on ignore, it's assumed that it's directed at whomever you quoted, unless otherwise clarifed.

In short (I know, too late), I read it and could see how it could have been taken both ways.

I can read, you just need to structure your sentences a little better. It truly looked like you were attacking CuteASAbug.

Recently, I've been hearing that black people don't wear flip-flops. WTF?! I know that DMX gave Jay-Z some static for being seen wearing them, but an entire race of people don't wear them at all?

That means I have to get rid of my Havaianas!

Havaianas are so comfortable!

How can we turn a thread about flip-flops into a racial thing?

How about we stick to the subject (flip-flops) so the thread can stay open?

I see people of all colors wearing flip flops. My kids go to an ethinicallly diverse daycare and they had to ban flip flops because so many of the kids were wearing them and getting hurt when they played outside.
